Support for neurodivergent young people

Neurodivergent young people may need support in different ways. Every person is unique, but whatever support they need, there are organisations that can help.

Young people who are neurodivergent may be living with one or more neurodevelopmental conditions. These include autism, ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia and Tourette’s syndrome.

This website focuses on autism and ADHD, because local reviews have identified a need for improved access to information and support on those conditions. However, this section of our site also includes links to information on other conditions to support Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire’s wider neurodivergent community.

In addition to the organisations listed below, young people aged 18 and over may also find the information for neurodivergent adults helpful.
